The M 6 Ranch

Untitled Part 7

Chapter 7

The shopping was a big success. The guys did there thing without complaining much. We stopped for lunch. The children were acting better than the adults. "Now I remember why I didn't take you four to town when you were little."I laughed at them acting up. The light lunch we had was salad for girls and burgers for the boys. Except Sarah she had water and crackers. I didn't say anything after lunch. I watched her for a while. Then I finally walked up to Taura "Is Sarah on some kind of crazy diet again?"

She looked at Sarah, "No Not that I know of, why?"

"She didn't eat any lunch or breakfast for that matter."I said

"She didn't, that's not like her she eats like a pig." Taura pointed. "The pig has fallen." I looked to where she was pointing. Sarah was lying on the floor, passed out. We ran to her. Anne met us there with Misty right behind her. She called Ralph, the store called 911. Taura was down at her face making sure she was breathing. Taura rose up and took Misty's water. She opened it took a drink and poured the rest on Sarah's face. She jumped and started spitting water. Sarah tried to set up, Taura pushed her back down. "Stay put girl you fainted."

The boys arrived pushing their way through the crowd that had gathered. "What in the hell happened?"Ralph bit out.

Misty looked at him with a dirty look. "Your sister fainted." She handed Russ to him. "Now quit barking and look for the ambulance." She squatted down beside Sarah. Ronnie took Nikki and they got out of the way. Taura handed her a bottle of water this time and told her to drink. Sarah gave her a dirty look and took the water. Taura let her sit up now. "Better?" she asked her. Sarah nodded her head yes.

"Can we get out of here before they come and make a big scene?" They all looked at me.

"Fine with me, I don't like scenes." They helped her get up. Then we walked straight through the crowd. We saw the boys playing with the kids. We told them we were leaving the mall. They picked up the kids and fell in behind us. We all circled Sarah so no one would recognize her or she fainted again. I held her hand to the car. Our two SUV's were packed we barely had room to sit. The incident kind of killed the mood for shopping. We rode in silence to the apartment. Finally Misty spoke to Sarah. "Have you been to the doctor yet?"

Sarah looked at her with shock on her face. "For what, I just didn't eat today that's all."

"No it's not all, is it." She said. She looked at Taura. "You're in school for it you know."

Taura nodded her head "I've expected" she turned to Sarah "Remember last month when you were sick."

"You've been sick?" I chimed in from the driver's seat.

"Yes ma'am, I thought it was just the stomach flu or something."

"I'm guessing or something." Misty said.

"Me too" Taura said quietly.

"Traitor" Sarah said to Taura.

The apartment was pretty good size. We made Sarah lie down for a little while before we got ready for dinner. Ronnie ran down to the corner store to get her something to snack on to get food in her stomach. Me I called the doctor back home. I made her an appointment for tomorrow. Then us girls settled down and played with the kids. The guys said they were going out to do their own shopping, they would be back. We sat in the floor playing ball then Lego blocks with the kids when Sarah came in and sat down beside Anne. "She takes after her aunt when it comes to buildings." Anne hugged her sister when Sarah smiled.

"Hopefully that's all she takes after me."

"No honey she's got your will to be independent and that's not a bad thing." I smiled "Just frustrating to us parents that want to always be there and help." We all laughed. "Feeling better?"
